Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 14: Atari Lynx Collection 2
I feel I'm about to just parrot a lot of what @HongKongHermit has already stated in their review but this absolutely is a game that's style over substance. Graphically the game absolutely shows off what the Lynx could do and there's certainly a neat feeling with the After-Burner style graphics going but after just a bit, there's the feeling of sluggishness as the game just is missing the speed needed for this sort of game.
It doesn't help that the game isn't very helpful with showcasing what's deadly and what isn't, resulting in some later levels being a shroud of shrapnel where its questionable if you'll be hit or not. As it stands its not an awful game but just one that drags itself across the line with graphical goodwill and the occasional heated moment.
